  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Tm 4:10-17b

  Beloved:
  Demas, enamored of the present world,
  deserted me and went to Thessalonica,
  Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
  Luke is the only one with me.
  Get Mark and bring him with you,
  for he is helpful to me in the ministry.
  I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
  When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus in Troas,
  the papyrus rolls, and especially the parchments.
  
  Alexander the coppersmith did me a great deal of harm;
  the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
  You too be on guard against him,
  for he has strongly resisted our preaching.
  
  At my first defense no one appeared on my behalf,
  but everyone deserted me.
  May it not be held against them!
  But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength,
  so that through me the proclamation might be completed
  and all the Gentiles might hear it.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 145:10-11, 12-13, 17-18

  and let your faithful ones bless you.
  Let them discourse of the glory of your Kingdom
  and speak of your might.

  Making known to men your might
  and the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages,
  and your dominion endures through all generations.
  R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.

  and holy in all his works.

  to all who call upon him in truth.
  R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 10:1-9

  The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples
  whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
  to every town and place he intended to visit.
  He said to them,
  "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
  so ask the master of the harvest
  to send out laborers for his harvest.
  Go on your way;
  behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
  Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
  and greet no one along the way.
  Into whatever house you enter,
  first say, 'Peace to this household.'
  If a peaceful person lives there,
  your peace will rest on him;
  but if not, it will return to you.
  Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you,
  for the laborer deserves payment.
  Do not move about from one house to another.
  Whatever town you enter and they welcome you,
  eat what is set before you,
  cure the sick in it and say to them,
  'The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.'"

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  is 45:1, 4-6

  Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus,
  whose right hand I grasp,
  subduing nations before him,
  and making kings run in his service,
  opening doors before him
  and leaving the gates unbarred:
  For the sake of Jacob, my servant,
  of Israel, my chosen one,
  I have called you by your name,
  giving you a title, though you knew me not.
  I am the LORD and there is no other,
  there is no God besides me.
  It is I who arm you, though you know me not,
  so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun
  people may know that there is none besides me.
  I am the LORD, there is no other.

  Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians
  in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

  We give thanks to God always for all of you,
  remembering you in our prayers,
  unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love
  and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mt 22:15-21

  The Pharisees went off
  and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech.
  They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying,
  "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man
  and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
  And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion,
  for you do not regard a person's status.
  Tell us, then, what is your opinion:
  Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?"
  Knowing their malice, Jesus said,
  "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
  Show me the coin that pays the census tax."
  Then they handed him the Roman coin.
  He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?"
  They replied, "Caesar's."
  At that he said to them,
  "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
  and to God what belongs to God."
